Moneybagg Yo Praises J Cole For Writing His Collab Verse At Lightning Speed

by

J Cole and Moneybagg Yo have a couple of collaborations together, namely their solo track “Say Na” and their YG link-up “Scared Money.” With this collaborative experience in mind, it’s no wonder that the Memphis MC would have some fond memories of his time with the Dreamville boss in the studio. Moreover, he recalled a particularly impressive session with the North Carolina spitter during a recent HipHopDX interview at the 2024 BET Awards’ red carpet in Los Angeles last Sunday (June 30). Specifically, Moneybagg expressed shock and awe at how Cole was able to work so quickly, and how it’s very hard to create these “lightning in a bottle” moments even when you have one of the best rappers of this generation in the booth.

“”J. Cole gave me eight bars ASAP,” Moneybagg Yo remarked concerning their time in the studio. “I’m talking about, like, probably in 15 minutes. We was in there, he done it ASAP. Boom, boom, boom. It was God because he was stopping by, he ain’t know I was at the studio, I ain’t know he was pulling up. And it kind of just happened organically. You can’t ask for those, you can’t pay for those things.”

Moneybagg Yo Speaks On J Cole’s Record-Time Verse-Writing

Previously, Moneybagg Yo had spoken on how Lil Durk also gave him a “classic” verse in record time. “Dat N***a @lildurk Sent Me A Verse Back In Less Than 20 mins Of Me Sending It To Em Da Night Before I Had To Turn My Project In And Its 1 of Dem Classic Day 1 Smurk Verses,” he wrote on Instagram earlier in the year. “Just Got A Crazyyyyy Feature In I Couldn’t Drop This Project Without. Now Everything Locked In Fasho sho Its Worth Da Wait.”

Of course, the project in question is Moneybagg Yo’s new album SPEAK NOW. Hopefully these fruitful and impressive interactions with both J Cole and Lil Durk continue to inspire him to put in more work with the pen and keep making great music. As fans, we often talk a lot about how our favorite artists captivate, inspire, and enlighten us in their own unique ways. But it’s always all the more special when that passion and craft inspires MCs’ peers above all else.

Drake Supposedly Didn’t Clear Verse On Bfb Da Packman’s Album Because Of Kendrick Lamar Diss

by

Over the past few days, fans were on the edge of their seats because Drake was going to possibly be responding to Kendrick Lamar on Bfb Da Packman’s new album. However, everyone was hooked and baited, as The Boy was nowhere to be found on “Olympic S*** Talkin.” It was reported late last night that he was not going to be on the record, but there was no explanation as to why. Fans were conjuring up their own propositions online, but now we supposedly have the reason from Bfb himself.

According to AllHipHop, the Michigan rapper hopped on X to clarify why Drake is MIA. “I couldn’t get it cleared. Kendrick came out with the diss and he put everything on hold. FORGET ME NOT OUT NOW 🚀🚀” Of course, that viral lyrical attack was on Metro Boomin and Future’s collaborative album WE DON’T TRUST YOU on the song “Like That.” Fans were already anticipating for Drake to clap back on “Olympic S*** Talkin” when Packman revealed the tracklist earlier this week.

However, there were also some fans that were hoping that the OVO co-founder would not respond to one of the “big three” “on this nobody.” Well, the latter got their wish, but Bfb fans are a little saddened by all of this. “Why’d you lie bro? I was excited about it,” is a common sentiment amongst most of the people that were eager for this collab. The other angle fans are taking is that they feel Drake was not going to diss Lamar back. “We knew that bruh. Like I said earlier, nobody wanna hear new Drake unless it’s a direct reply to Kendrick,” one fan writes. “We KNOW he wasn’t gonna reply on your album… This is chess.”

What are your thoughts on Drake’s verse being taken off Bfb Da Packman’s due to Kendrick Lamar’s diss? Do you buy this explanation from the Michigan MC, why or why not? What fans are you agreeing with? Are you still going to listen to Packman’s new album? Do you think Drake’s next song or feature will be a diss at K-Dot? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and Bfb Da Packman.

ASAP Rocky Left Verse Off “Say Ya Grace,” Cole Bennett Shares As Fans Beg For Album

by

ASAP Rocky would’ve fit like a stylish, satin glove on the new Cole Bennett-directed Lyrical Lemonade album All Is Yellow. Alas, such potential is hard to materialize sometimes, and it turns out that he was actually among the stacked cast of features that were meant to appear on the project. However, it looks like things didn’t quite work out, which is understandable considering the New York rapper’s busy personal schedule. Amid fatherhood, legal trouble, and career moves outside of music, perhaps the cards didn’t fall right. Moreover, Bennett took to Twitter on Saturday (January 27) to reveal this information to fans.

“Rocky had a verse on Say Ya Grace originally,” the music video director and creative expressed. “Maybe the world will get to hear it one day.” Considering the sheer longevity of ASAP Rocky’s career -– and that of his ardent fanbase, which only seems to grow every day -– we wouldn’t be surprised if there’s enough hype around this to release the verse one day. Still, we can’t guess on when or how it will ever come out, and as many hardcore fans will remind you online if you bring this up, he has much more pressing musical matters to attend.

Furthermore, ASAP Rocky fans want him to release his long-awaited fourth studio album already. He’s been cooking it for years up until this point, so much so that we can’t even say for sure whether it will really be called Don’t Be D*mb, as he teased so long ago. Regardless, patience is the name of the game here, and all we can hope is that the A$AP Mob head honcho’s project is fantastic whenever it does arrive. But the longer it pushes back, more and more folks will tune out and forget, so the clock is ticking for a hyped drop.

Meanwhile, with his firearm assault case in mind, it’s unfortunate that factors like this clearly delayed this new album. However, there are much better reasons for Rakim Mayers to leave his craft behind for some time: his growing family. As such, we can’t really blame him, but if we were him, we’d prioritize solo work over features. Hopefully “Say Ya Grace” is an indicator that this is the path ASAP Rocky chose. Nevertheless, for more news and the latest updates on him, check back in with HNHH.

Shaq Gifts GAWNE A Custom Rolls-Royce After Collab, Rapper Thanks Him

by

Shaquille O’Neal is passionate about many things and many industries, but his love of music is among his most well-documented passions. Whether it’s EDM or hip-hop, he’s always down to engage with the game, and he recently gave a rare rap verse to Chicago rapper GAWNE for his track “CHAOS.” Released on Friday (December 8), it’s a song and music video that came about after the former Laker sent the rapper a DM, and they eventually linked up. However, what he probably didn’t expect was for Shaw to gift him a $1 million custom Rolls-Royce after they wrapped up their video shoot, but such are the surprises you get when you work with such a legend.

“Shaq, man, it’s the craz*est day of my life,” GAWNE says in a clip uploaded to his social media pages. It shows off the maroon-tinged whip in the background, and you can tell by the smile on the MC’s face that he may just be right in his assessment. “Shaq just gave me a f***ing Rolls. Goddamn, man. God bless you, Shaq.” “It’s yours, my boy. Now I gotta take an Uber,” he replied.

While speaking to Oak Park, GAWNE remarked on what meeting Shaq was like, and what he took away the most from their interactions. “I was blown away by Shaq’s passion for rap,” he shared. “And him making his return to rap with me is such an honor. He was so passionate and loves rap so much, in every single take he was rapping his heart out. It was such a magical experience. Also, I want to shout from the mountain tops how good of a guy Shaquille O’Neal is, as well. As cool as making a song with him was, what I admire the most about him is his character and him as an individual.”
